If her abdomen is slightly larger than her carapace she should be good to go for awhile. Over bloated abdomens on terrestrial tarantula's could lead to a fall and a ruptured abdomen which is basically a death sentence! I have a C. Marshalli even after she molts her abdomen always stays relatively large but she is still hyper food aggressive but I keep feeding to every 3 or so weeks. In other words don't just keep feeding them constantly even though they act hungry. Use good judgement. Spiders can make it a long time without food. Just keep the water available if she needs it Happy spidering!</p></blockquote><p></p>
